Step1: Create a Clear Picture of Your Goals

Assess your abilities, skills, values, accomplishments, and interests. Do some market research and start understanding which industries and employers you are interested in. What are you looking for, and what would be a good fit for your goals?

Not sure about how to do it? You can visit your university career services office and get help from professional counselors. If you are not a student in the area, contact Cuyahoga Works and set up an appointment with a career counselor!

Step 2: Create a Professional Resume

Make sure your resume highlights your experiences, education and other unique attributes that you bring to a job. Make sure to proofread!

Ask for help from your university career services office or go over it with a friend before finalizing your resume. Note that resume standards are very different from country to country. If your current resume has a photo on it, it’s probably not U.S. standard!

Step 4: Don’t Forget Extracurricular Activities

Don’t underestimate the value of your volunteer work, club memberships, etc. Employers like to see this experience and it can show your leadership skills and that you can multi-task by handling school work and other activities at the same time.

Step 5: Join Professional Clubs/Associations

Find the national or regional associations related to your field, and some chapters may have been formed in your school. Professional clubs are great ways for keeping up with industry trends, finding specialized job postings in your field and developing new contacts.
